Time trickled by just like that.
As it got nearer to the third day, there was still no news of Ye Fan.
Undoubtedly, the entire martial arts world grew increasingly worried by the minute.
Jared, the martial arts leader of Ferropene, was particularly anxious.
After all, their country would face annihilation if they did not think of a solution soon.
Jared had trouble sleeping within those three days. He spent all his time praying for Ye Fan's return.
Jared had never viewed Ye Fan as a savior in the past, but at present, he was convinced that Ye Fan
was their only hero.
That was how human beings were. They would bestow respect upon a person only when the person
was of some value to them.
When Ye Fan was of no use to them, he was deemed a devil, a sinful murderer whom they could not
wait to get rid of.
Alas, in the end, they still failed to receive any news about Ye Fan. Finally, three days had passed.
A figure appeared at the riverbank of the Seine River in Baykeep.
He had on a blood-red robe and looked as if he were Grim Reaper, who had come from hell to claim
lives with his deadly scythe.
“Great Emperor Aaron, please save us...”
“You can't let us die like this...”
His plea was met with silence.
“Prince Carlo, I hope you can lend Baykeep a hand now that we are in peril. After all, we have been
friends for years.”
Once again, his plea fell on deaf ears.
Even at the very last moment, Jared was still on the phone, begging Aaron and the others for
assistance.
Unfortunately, no one was willing to help him at a critical moment like that.
Aaron pretended that the phone signal was bad and ended the call.
Carlo was a tad better. Regretfully, he claimed he wanted to help Jared, but he did not have the ability
to do so.
“B*stard! Bunch of b*stards!”
In a fit of anger, Jared threw his phone aside.
Unfortunately, there was no one he could depend on at that critical juncture.
Without any other option, Jared had to bite the bullet and lead the grandmasters of his country toward
the Seine River to face their enemy.
Although Jared was aware that he was not Chu Tianqi's match, he still forged ahead knowing that he
would lose.
Then again, he was still the martial arts leader of his country after all.
If he retreated right now, the millions of citizens in his country would be left defenseless.
Every human being must uphold certain principles in life.
As for Jared, his duty was what he must uphold.
Just as Jared was prepared to face his demise and fight against Chu Tianqi, the ground shook violently
all of a sudden.
Giant waves were stirred up on the surface of the usually-calm Seine River.
Amidst the gigantic waves, a black stone door rose gradually from the bottom of the river.
“W-What...”
“What is this?”
Jared and the rest were shocked to witness such a bizarre occurrence.
Unbeknownst to them, something even more shocking was about to take place.
After the door appeared, it was as if the doors to Heaven opened.
Both the stone doors opened up following a deafening rumble.
Countless rays of blinding light streaked across the sky.
All Jared and the others could see were flashes of bright light emitting from beneath the stone doors.

Time trickled by just like that.
As it got nearer to the third day, there was still no news of Ye Fan.
In the midst of the dazzling light, the silhouette of a burly man emerged from the doors.
He was wearing a helmet in the shape of an eagle's head and golden armor on his body as he strode
out with a long spear in his hand.
His deep-set eyes were shining a golden glow, and his white, long beard fluttered in the wind.
From afar, he resembled a deity who had just walked out of the fairy tales.
His aura of regality permeated the entire area.
“W-What's going on? Is he Odin, the King of Gods? The one who ranked first in the Sky Ranking
hundreds of years ago?”
The instant Jared saw the man's face clearly, he was dumbfounded.
“H-How is this possible? How can he still be alive?”
Shock and fear filled Jared's eyes.
Back when Jared was still a child, Odin was already a supreme grandmaster and the most powerful
person in the history of Ferropene's martial arts world.
However, Odin was already in his twilight years back then.
Not long after, he disappeared without a trace.
After all, no one could live forever no matter how powerful they once were.
Even the number one supreme grandmaster on the Sky Ranking would eventually succumb to old age.
Thousands of years had gone by, and the top ten fighters on the Sky Ranking had been updated
countless times. Most of those ultimate fighters did not perish in fights. Instead, a majority of them
passed away due to old age.
Therefore, Jared felt that Odin must have also passed away like the rest of the supreme grandmasters.
However, he did not expect to see someone who was supposed to be dead hundreds of years ago
appear in front of his eyes.
Just as Jared was in a state of shock, similar instances were happening all over the world.
Strange stone doors were popping up simultaneously in different corners of the world, including the
wastelands of Summerbank in Remdik, deep within Mount Yan of China, the desert of Smealand, the
burial grounds of Adrune, and many, many more.
Furthermore, all the elite fighters from the past who were supposed to be dead ages ago walked out of
those doors like zombies.
Odin of Western Epea, Emir, the giant of Smealand, Asura of Remdik, and the supreme grandmaster
Mu Zihua, the fifth pillar of China who had disappeared for many years were all long-established
ancient titans.
All of them were immortal legends of their generation.
Fighters who had ruled the martial arts world for decades such as Ye Qingtian and Aaron were like
children in the presence of those ancient titans.
Once the ancient titans walked out of their respective doors, they rushed to Western Epea and joined
Odin in the fight against Chu Tianqi.
In the end, the ancient titans joined forces and managed to defeat Chu Tianqi, finishing him off at the
Seine River.
Once the news got out, it shocked the entire world.
The entire martial arts world plunged into an uproar.
“Oh my goodness!”
“Odin is still alive?”
“Shouldn't he be around two hundred years old by now?”
Everyone was flabbergasted.
“Asura is also around too?”
“My grandpa grew up listening to the legend of Asura!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“This is so messed up!”
“Unbelievable.”
“What exactly is happening to the world?”
“These ancient titans are supposed to be dead. How did they appear out of nowhere?”
The Martial Artist Forum was taken by storm, and most people were shaken to the core while some
rejoiced at the ancient titans' reappearance.
“This is a blessing for the martial arts world! Thankfully, Odin and the others are still alive. Otherwise, it
would have been the end of the road for us. The martial arts world of every country would've been
annihilated by Chu Tianqi for sure!”
“That's right. In the past, the martial arts world of Western Epea was tragically wiped out by the Chu
Sect. Right now, Grandmaster Odin has reappeared. In the future, the martial arts world of Western
Epea will never fear anyone again. A new era has come!”
Joy filled the entire forum as everyone discussed the matter in excitement.
Although the reappearance of Odin and the others shocked everybody, it was comforting to know that
the grandmasters of the past had made a comeback.
After all, it would be easier to keep everyone in check if there were more top fighters.
That way, lasting peace could be maintained in the martial arts world.
Back at the castle on Mount Yan, China began to rebuild the War God Castle at the previous location
once the crisis regarding Chu Sect was over.
Furthermore, in order to pay tribute to Tang Hao and express their gratitude for Ye Fan, they erected
two statues in front of the War God Castle.
One statue was of Tang Hao, and the other was of Ye Fan.
At present, Mount Chumen was decorated with colorful festive lights, and the place appeared cheerful.
They were celebrating the reappearance of Mu Zihua, the fifth pillar of China who had disappeared
decades ago.
“Hahaha... Zihua, it's so good to see you again. Sword Saint and I thought that something tragic has
happened to you.”
At the peak of Mount Yan, Ye Qingtian, Xiao Chen, and the others were grinning and greeting one
another.
A lady dressed in purple with phoenix ornaments in her hair was standing before them.
She showed no expression on her face and looked dignified.
Mu Zihua walked along the red carpet that led to the peak of Mount Yan.
There was also a young man with her.
He was similar to Ye Fan in age and appeared very handsome-looking.
Mu Zihua held the hand of the gorgeous man and strolled toward the castle.
“Zihua, who's this young man?” asked Ye Qingtian, confused.
He had long noticed the man walking beside Mu Zihua.
However, Mu Zihua did not reply.
Instead, she asked Ye Qingtian and the others coldly, “Who's in charge of the War God Castle in China
now?”
All three men were taken aback.
Obviously, they did not expect that to be her first question the moment she returned to Mount Yan.
“Ye is the first one to make his mark among us. He's also the most powerful and prestigious fighter in
the martial arts world of China. Naturally, the person in charge is Ye,” answered Xiao Chen.
Mu Zihua glanced at Ye Qingtian before saying indifferently, “Then, from today onward, get him to step
down. From this moment on, my disciple, Chen Jiuzhou, will take over as the Hall Master of War God
Castle! Everyone shall honor him as the lord.”
Mu Zihua's condescending voice resonated in everyone's ears.
Just like that, amidst the stunned looks of Ye Qingtian and the rest, Mu Zihua swiftly bestowed her
disciple the highest position in War God Castle.
The Martial Artist Forum was taken by storm, and most people were shaken to the core while some
rejoiced at the ancient titans' reappearance.
